Wilson mags are NOT "controlled feed", as the original 1911 mags were. They were designed to release the cartridge before it got captured, to help race guns function. I have a vague recollection they are not reliable when the gun is held sideways or upside down. I do recall seeing one spit it's guts out when dropped on the plastic floorplate. Well, it launched itself when the plastic split, with the body landing a few feet away. I've seen the plastic break a few times, but only that one lost containment.
I prefer the Colt mags, but I wish Mag-Pak still made followers/spring kits for them. You just don't expect a good product to go out of business.

To perhaps harvest some tasty venison with either a rifle or a shotgun, any skin or antler is just a nice bonus, here.
And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."
